I didn't find any of the arguments presented against this change really
convincing. You make an assumption about SRP users whereas the motivation
of the change came from a bug report by a real user who was frustrated
with the previous config. Understandably in my opinion.
Anyway, since I'm not a DD, I can't revert it. Benjamin, since you're a
DD and if you also believe the change should be reverted, please feel free
to do so.
